This is a North Indian side dish which my family loves,especially my son and daughter.This is not a gravy but is like a curry which goes well with chappati,Naan.and roti.

Beans--------------------------------------100gms
Carrot-------------------------------------100 gms

Dice all the vegetables and keep aside.Grate the paneer.Chop the coriander leaves finely.Heat oil in a kadai and add the onions and fry for a minute.then add the turmeric powder and saute for a minute.Then add the chilly powder and salt and mix it well.Then add the other vegetables and cover and cook for 5 minutes in low flame.toss the vegetables once again and  when cooked fully add the dhaniya powder,garam masala, cloves,cardomom and cinnamon powder and saute for 2 minutes.Add the grated paneer and coriander leaves and saute for one more minute.switch off the flame and the YUMMY Paneer burji is ready.

I always keep handy the three powders.... cradomom,cinnamon and cloves( which I call the Magic powders).This enhances the taste of any North Indian gravy or curry.
